Slow cooker oat meal

Unsalted butter

8 1/2 cups water

2 cups steel-cut oats

1 1 1/2 cup almond milk

1/4 cup packed coconut sugar

1/2 teaspoon sea salt

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

INSTRUCTIONS

Coat the insert of the slow cooker with a thin layer of butter. Add the water, oats, coconut or whole milk, brown sugar, and salt and stir to combine.

Cover and cook on low until the oats are cooked through and creamy, about 7 to 8 hours. Stir in the vanilla and serve immediately.

Fruit of your choice

Raspberries

Blueberries 

Strawberries

Banana

Just chop the fruit and stir it into individual bowls.

Alternative

You can peel and finely chop two crisp apples and add them to the slow cooker.  If you choose to do this also add 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and you will have a fantastic apple cinnamon oatmeal.
